Spanish media revealed a resounding surprise about the prevailing trend that the Catalan club intends to follow towards the Blaugrana duo during the coming period.

It seems that there is a trend within Barcelona that the two stars of the first team should be abandoned in order to sign Erling Haaland, the German striker, Borussia Dortmund, to be the first Catalan deal in the offensive line for next season.

In this context, the reliable journalist Luis Rojo of the Spanish newspaper “Marca” confirmed that the Barcelona administration had received a request from the coach of the first team, Xavi Hernandez, for the departure of the duo Osman Dembele and Philippe Coutinho at the end of the current season in order to finance the Haaland deal.

So far, Dembele’s contract has not been renewed, despite his participation in most of the Catalan team’s matches.

On the other hand, it seems that the Brazilian Philippe Coutinho has found his way in the English Premier League under the leadership of his former teammate in Liverpool Steven Gerrard, who knows his potential well, as the Brazilian appeared in a very special way with the English coach.

In the same context, the Catalan newspaper reported that Barcelona had terminated its agreement with Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen, according to reports from Spain, to join the Spanish team at the beginning of the season in a free transfer deal after the end of his contract.

Barcelona occupies the 4th place in the La Liga standings, with 48 points.
